The short answer is no. There really isn't a reliable way in Java to
accomplish this from within the java code. Therefore it will not be
something that is internally supported in iBATIS. I would recommend you
select a good profiling tool and do your best to surmise memory usage from
it.

I was wondering if there was a way to determine the amount of memory being
allocated by a iBatis cache. I read a thread called "Estimating amount of
memory need for cache".  However, the thread ended on 25 Jul 2005 with
mention of an utility being developed. Was anything ever developed? Or is
there a some other way to determine the size of a cache?

I believe that the cache is storing query statements and the resulting
objects in memory. Are the query statements the keys in a map with the
values being object(s)?  Also, how does the cache grow? Does it
preallocate memory in the "map" based on the cache size or does it allocate
just what is needed upon each object being added to the cache?

Sorry for all the questions. Still fairly new to iBatis and trying to get
a handle on these caching aspects.

Thanks in advance for any help.
